hearses. Down from the viaduct
around the corner into Lake street they
marched. There were men, there were
women, there were boys and girls on
foot and babes in arms, bands OF music
and arms full of flowers. In ranks of
four to eight deep they tramped, nus
bands. wives, children and sweethearts,
side by side. As they swung into Lake
street not word was uttered by those
in the ranks or those on the corners.
The respect shown by the police for
those in the parade was remarkable.
Only eight officers were stationed at
this historic corner to keep the crowd
back from intruding. A most noticeable
feature of this part of the pa
geant was the showing made
by the two local assemblies
of the Knights of Labor composed
wholly of women. Each one of these
were aflame with red. Scarlet in their
hats, bows of crimson at their throats
and long streamerS of crimson from
their shoulders made the appearance of
the workingwomen the object OF
special comment. In front of them
marched Miss Mary Mccormick. master
workman of the organization known as
Lucy Parsons assembly, x. OF H." She
was attended by two others, and the
trio carried huge wreath, to the top OF
which was attached SnOw-Whlte dove
the emblem of peace. 1t will be re-
membered that the signal for the gath
ering at Haymarket square was the
printed German word ''ruhe," meaning
peace. This was the only white dove in
the whole line. The tribute was sent
by the Ladies' Defense Fund committee
of Cincinnati. Then came more men,
women and children, and it took the
marching thousands just twenty-three
minutes TO pass the corner. After the
foot warriors came the carriages, to the
number of fifty. They were overloaded
with people of
ALL AGES AND SEXES.
And here a change was made. In
stead of turning into Lake street the
line of vehicles kept on due south ON
DesplaineS street at brisk trot.
Squarely over the spot where the bomb
fell and on over the ground strewn by
mangled bodies the night of the riot
tramped the horses. But there was no
crowd there to-day. Not dozen per-
sons were at the corner of Randolph
street when the first carriage rolled by.
On went the line past the Desplaines
street station, ON the steps of which
stood Lieut.. Bold and few policemen
who gaZed on with stOlid looks. In the
alley stood patrol wagon with horses
all ready to go, showing that the officers
were ON the alert. The carriages
reached the Wisconsin Central depot
possibly twenty minutes ahead of the
marchers of the procession who went
east on Lake street, south on Fifth
avenue and past the building in which
was formerly the office of August
Spies and Albert r. Parsons,
where they wrote bloodthirsty
editorials for their respective papers,
the Arbeiter Zeitung and the Alarm.
As the first ranks of the Aurora Turn
verein passed the building some one of
its members raised in the air small
United States flag and waved it over his
head. This was the signal for a cheer
from the loyal spectators on the side
walk. In half an hour more Marshal
Hepp halted the procession at the Wis
consin Central depot, and the coffinS of
the four men who had paid the penalty
of murder on the gallowS, and that of
Louis Lingg, the bOmb-maker and sui
eide, were borne on the shoulders OF
the pall-bearers through side entrance
to the depot and deposited in combi-
nation baggage and smoking-car, to
which was attached an engine ready to
start for Waldheim cemetery.
